Wife and I were on an ice cream run to Lake Placid (Florida) when the bike's FI light came on, the engine RPM dropped and the instruments (speedometer, odometer, tripmeter) quit working. We were in cruise mode and the incident happened right after a large motor home passed us in the opposite direction causing a very strong wind buffet that shook the bike. I pulled to the side of the road (keeping the engine running with the trottle because it wanted to stall) and put the kickstand down. The FI light flashed "CODE 11". Later, at home, the service manual under the troubleshooting section for failed speedometer referred to CODE 11. All the other instruments work fine. I can turn on the main CRUISE button and the panel reads CRUISE, but I cannot set the cruise (no GREEN light). Since the bike is under extended warranty till 2010, I decided to let the dealer fix it. I suspect that the wind buffeting shook a wire connector loose somewhere in the wiring circuit. The 2003 bike has 38000 miles on it. Anyone experience this situation? What was the fix?
